Snow, sleet and freezing rain still looks likely for Monday

Our next, and heaviest round of wintry weather is on it's way to Northwest Arkansas and the River Valley. It should arrive early Monday morning, and could continue periodically throughout Monday, causing havoc on the roadways.

We're not forecasting very high totals at this time, as you can see in the picture above. Generally between a half inch and an inch of snow and sleet across Northwest Arkansas and the River Valley, with up to 3/4" of freezing rain and sleet across the Ouachitas. Keep in mind, in places where the precip falls mainly as snow, it is possible some higher totals of over an inch could occur, especially where that snow gets heaviest.

Timing for all this to arrive looks to be between 4am and 6am Monday, just in time for the morning commute...

Because temperatures will remain at or below freezing thru much of Monday morning, whatever does fall will accumulate quickly on area roads... especially side roads, bridges and overpasses. Use extreme caution when driving in areas that have seen ice accumulation on the roads. We don't need any more accidents this weekend. Be safe everyone, please.
